Little Red Dumpling Moves Downstairs to Pancake Manor’s Iconic Site

Can’t get enough of Asian dumplings? Soon, you’ll get your fill of these delicious bites from the thriving Asian eatery, Little Red Dumpling, which is set to open its 10th location in Brisbane CBD.

Little Red Dumpling is moving into the downstairs section of the iconic red building of the 41-year-old restaurant, Pancake Manor, on Charlotte Street. 



The plans are all set for the Asian eatery’s development, through Sydney architects The Calabur, after the owners secured a long-term tenancy in the heritage-listed site.

The Asian eatery is famous for its handmade sweet and savoury dumpling varieties, braised beef noodle soup and cumin lamb ribs. Its potato custard buns, the newest addition on the menu, is also fast becoming a crowd favourite. 

Every food choice washes down well with a bottle of ice-cold Tsingtaos and it’s how the elders in Guangdong enjoy their meals — sipping beer and consuming homemade dumplings.

“My wife and I had an enjoyable lunch here. We ordered the Pork Chive dumplings, Pan-Fried Pork dumplings and Xiao Long Bao dumplings, all were delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant has a nice and clean contemporary interior and service is good. We’ll definitely be returning.”
